Achieving fast regrowth of the pasture after the first harvest is crucial for obtaining a substantial second and, hopefully, third harvest. Weather, of course, plays a significant role, but the performance of the mowing machine is also crucial. Therefore, it is essential to have a mowing machine that delivers clean cuts instead of tearing the grass, risking damage to the soil surface, and thereby impairing the conditions for the pasture to recover. With Krones SmartCut technology, the grass is cut with a larger knife disc overlap, and it is also quick to change the knives, resulting in clean cuts and higher yield.

It's not always easy to see all the obstacles hidden in the field, which is why Krones cutterbars are equipped with the collision protection system, SafeCut, to protect the machine from damage caused by rocks or branches. The integrated collision protection system reacts quickly and stops the affected knife discs, minimizing the risk of downtime and allowing for a quick resumption of operation. This system can save you costly and time-consuming repairs when it's crucial to harvest the feed at the right time to get a good price for it.

Krones ActiveMow rotary mowers require minimal maintenance because they are lifetime lubricated, have a durable construction, and are designed with large gearwheels to minimize wear and tear. This reduces both the time and costs of maintenance and ensures that the mowing machine lasts longer. In the Farmers First Maintenance App, there are ready-made maintenance plans that contribute to reduced downtime, increased lifespan, and better resale value.

With low power requirements, you can advantageously use a smaller tractor, reducing ground pressure and fuel consumption. It has low weight, allowing for significant up-and-down movement to follow the contour of the ground. Ground pressure is easily adjusted with springs to ensure the machine delivers perfect cuts even at high speeds and in tough terrain. Additionally, it has a 100° transport position for even weight distribution and excellent visibility during transport.

In order for the pasture to recover and grow rapidly after the first cut, a gentle initial mowing is required. The Krone cutterbar is the heart of the machines and is built to last, with a robust welded construction and permanent lubrication. Its massive gears impress with quiet and reliable operation under continuous load, contributing to superior cutting quality and maximum longevity.

The key to clean cuts is quality blades, which is why Krone has developed a blade change system that is both simple and fast. This ensures that you can always achieve results with clean cuts in the field, promoting healthy and rapid regrowth. When it's quick to change the blades, it becomes easier to do so as often as needed, ensuring optimal performance of the mower.

Avoiding stones and branches hidden in the field can be challenging. That's why Krone equips its mowers with the SafeCut system, safeguarding your machine from unexpected obstacles, reducing downtime, and repair needs. SafeCut's unique features, such as pins that release under overload and self-lifting discs, prevent chain reactions and simplify on-field repairs. With this collision-resistant design and wear-resistant components, Krone's SafeCut system ensures a secure forage harvest.

The slidig skids are mounted under the mower bar, ensuring smooth forage flow while protecting the grass surface. Made from hardened steel, they are durable and help maintain the mower bar's parallel alignment with the ground, ensuring exceptional cutting precision. Various sliding skid options are available for different terrains or cutting heights, including wear plates and those suitable for high-cutting situations. The sliding skids provide the reliability needed for achieving optimal performance and ground-following capabilities in your mowing operations.

Experience optimized forage flow and seamless overlapping with the SmartCut technology. Our flying knife cut and increased disc overlap guarantee top-notch cutting quality. The eccentric drive allows versatile rotation options—swathing for center-focused rotation (A) or wide spreading with discs turning in pairs (B). These machines come with a standard spare blade drawer. The wedge-shaped cutterbar ensures adaptable settings for short or long stubble, providing reliable performance and a clean cut for diverse crops.
